Longest title ever? I’d say yes.

Today is the first Friday of the month {Ugh. I hate that summer is flying by.} which means that it is time to announce this month’s Year of Change Project. This month we are focusing on something I really struggle with: styling bookshelves.  In addition to our usual lovely ladies, we will also be joined by Jade O’Connor Designs. I’ve got my work cut out for me on this one, so I’m starting the inspiration search now! Check back on the last Friday of August to see all of our projects!

Next, some follow-ups. There were so many great projects submitted in our Look 4 Less challenge. Before I announce the winner of the $60 Target gift card I wanted to share a few of my favorite projects that were submitted to the link-up party we hosted.

I am in love with this DIY Restoration Hardware Inspired Table. I just wish I needed a new table so I could build this one! Heather from Setting For Four made this beauty for only $157!

Another RH knock-off that I was in love with: this Restoration Hardware Deconstructed Chair Knock-Off from DIO Home Improvements. I’m not sure I would have ever tried removing the cane on the original chair, but it paid off big-time with this one!

And check out this gorgeous Wisteria inspired Marble Top Console Table from Provident Home Design. So beautiful!

I am also in love with this painted umbrella from Bigger Than The Three of Us. You won’t believe what this umbrella originally looked like! I love the outcome.

And the winner decided by all six blogs? Ursula from House Made by Carmona. She created these AMAZING Lulu & Georgia knock-off rugs – for $9! Amazing right? {Ursula – Kayla will be reaching out to you to get your shipping info for the gift card!}

If you haven’t check out all the other projects on this post, I would highly encourage you to do so. Like I said, SO many amazing projects to check out! Thanks you again to everyone that entered the challenge! It was so fun to check out every project. Have a wonderful weekend! I’m sure I’ll spend all my time planning for Tuesday’s Bunco party 😉

If you would like to follow along on more of my home decor, DIY, lifestyle and other posts, I’d love to have you follow me on any of the following:
